Vikings' Cam Akers Feared to Have Suffered Achilles Injury vs. Falcons, HC Says

The Minnesota Vikings offense took yet another big blow Sunday as coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters it is feared that running back Cam Akers tore his achilles in the team's 31-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Akers, 24, suffered the injury in the third quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and was immediately ruled out after having to be carted off the field. He had eight carries for 25 yards when he came off.

Minnesota had to lean more on Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler the rest of the afternoon.
